    The document provides 4 questions related to scheduling operations in manufacturing. Question 1 asks to develop schedules using FCFS, SPT and EDD rules for routing machine orders and compare average flow times and past due hours. Question 2 asks for job priorities using SPT, S/RO, EDD and CR rules and average flow times for a drill press. Question 3 asks for FCFS and EDD schedules for web design orders and compares average flow times and past due days. Question 4 asks for optimal sequence using Johnson's rule and a Gantt chart for deburring and heat treating government contract parts orders.

    Tutorial 11: Scheduling 2017/18

    Question 1
    The Hickory Company manufactures wooden desks. Management schedules overtime every
    weekend to reduce the backlog on the most popular models. The automatic routing machine is used
    to cut certain types of edges on the desktops. The following orders need to be scheduled for the
    routing machine:

    Order Time Since Order Estimated Machine Due Date (hours


    Arrived (hours ago) Time (hours) from now)
    1 6 10 12
    2 5 3 8
    3 3 15 18
    4 1 9 20
    5 0 7 21

    The due dates reflect the need for the order to be at its next operation.

    a. Develop separate schedules by using the FCFS, SPT, and EDD rules. Compare the schedules on
    the basis of average flow time and average past due hours for any order.
    b. For each schedule, calculate the average WIP inventory.

    Ans Question 1:
    a. FCFS: 1-2-3-4-5
    SPT: 2-5-4-1-3
    EDD: 2-1-3-4-5

    FCFS: SPT: EDD:


    Average flow time 29.4 24.0 28.0
    Average past due hours 11.0 8.6 10.2

    b.

    FCFS: SPT: EDD:


    Average WIP inv. 3.3 2.7 3.2

    EME 2036 1
    Question 2
    The drill press is a bottleneck operation in a production system. Currently, five jobs are waiting to be
    processed. Following are the available operations data. Assume that the current date is week 5 and
    that the number of remaining operations and the shop time remaining include the operation at the
    drill press.

    Processing Due Date Operations Shop Time


    Job
    Time (wk) (wk) Remaining Remaining (wk)
    AA 4 10 3 4
    BB 8 16 4 6
    CC 13 21 10 9
    DD 6 23 3 12
    EE 2 12 5 3

    a. Specify the priority for each job if the shop floor control system uses each of the following
    priority rules: SPT, S/RO, EDD, and CR.
    b. For each priority rule, calculate the average flow time per job at the drill press.

    Ans. Question 2:
    a. SPT: EE-AA-DD-BB-CC
    S/RO: AA-CC-EE-BB-DD
    EDD: AA-EE-BB-CC-DD
    CR: AA-DD-CC-BB-EE

    b.
    SPT: S/RO: EDD: CR:
    Average Flow Time 14.6 20.2 16.8 20.0

    EME 2036 2
    Question 3
    Currently a company that designs Web sites has five customers in its backlog. The day when the
    order arrived, processing time, and promised due dates are given in the following table. The
    customers are listed in the order of when they arrived. They are ready to be scheduled today, which
    is the start of day 190.

    Day Order Processing


    Customer Due Date
    Arrived Time (days)
    A 180 20 216
    B 182 12 240
    C 184 28 256
    D 187 24 248
    E 188 32 290

    a. Develop separate schedules by using the FCFS and EDD rules.


    b. Compare the schedules on the basis of average flow time and average days past due.

    Ans Question 3:
    a. FCFS: A-B-C-D-E
    EDD: A-B-D-C-E

    b.
    FCFS: EDD:
    Average flow time 68.2 67.4
    Average days past due 8.4 6.8

    Question 4
    McGee Parts Company is under tremendous pressure to complete a government contract for six
    orders in 31 working days. The orders are for spare parts for highway maintenance equipment.
    According to the government contract, a late penalty of $1000 is imposed each day the order is late.
    Owing to a nationwide increase in highway construction, McGee Parts has received many orders for
    spare parts replacement and the shop has been extremely busy. To complete the government
    contract, the parts must be first deburred and heat treated next. The production control manager has
    suggested the following schedule:

    Deburr Heat Treat


    Job Start Finish Start Finish
    1 0 2 2 8
    2 2 5 8 13
    3 5 12 13 17
    4 12 15 17 25
    5 15 16 25 30
    6 16 24 30 32

    a. Use Johnson’s rule to determine the optimal sequence.


    b. Draw a Gantt chart for each operation.

    Ans. Question 4:
    a. 5–1–2–4–3–6
    b.
